Objective: This study aimed to determine the most frequent clinical aspects in patients with odontogenic orbital inflammation, the computed tomography (CT) aspect, and the most appropriate treatment. Material and Methods: This is a retrospective case-series study conducted on 3 patients with ages between 16 and 55 years old, in the Ophthalmology and Oro-Maxillo-Facial Clinics of "Sf. Spiridon" Emergency Hospital, Iași, Romania. The following investigations were performed in all selected cases: visual acuity (VA), ocular motility examination, anterior segment examination at slit-lamp, fundus examination, intraoral clinical examination, sinus and orbital involvement on CT scan, pathogens involved. Results: All three patients presented swelling of the genic and periorbital regions, conjunctival chemosis, hyperemia of the conjunctiva, proptosis, pain, decreased vision and extraocular movement restriction. The CT examination identified orbital and periorbital cellulitis and ethmoidal expanded maxillary sinusitis or pansinusitis. Dental extraction, transalveolar drainage and orbital decompression were performed in all three cases. The evolution was favorable with remission of proptosis, edema of the genic and periorbital regions and conjunctival chemosis. Visual acuity remained poor in one case due to total optic nerve atrophy. Conclusions: Our study had a small number of patients, but the data was pertinent to ophthalmologists and maxillofacial surgeons who need to be aware of typical clinical features and the most common etiologies. Late treatment of dental infections can lead to severe ocular manifestations such as orbital cellulitis. Odontogenic orbital inflammation management involves a long-term and multidisciplinary approach. Abbreviations: CT = computed tomography, VA = visual acuity, CBCT = cone beam computed tomography, TED = thyroid eye disease, MRI = magnetic resonance imaging, OOC = odontogenic orbital cellulitis, RAPD = relative afferent pupillary defect.
